Some people out there are happy to sit quietly. Or rely on talk radio to fill the silence. Others still are happy to acknowledge the chaos of life and select 'shuffle' on their iPod or MP3 Player of choice. For the rest of us there is the noble playlist. Borne out of the superior mixtape from the olden days in which a friend or lover slaved over a tape player for hours deciding what you might like to hear the innovation that is Spotify means you can suit a playlist to your mood THIS INSTANT. The latest person to take advantage of this is Spotify employee Sofie Olofssen who created a PMS playlist. We have decided to take the liberty of creating some more playlists to anticipate your moods...
1. Insomnia. Not to try and get you through the night, but to keep you going throughout the following day. As an added bonus, this playlist can also be used when the lack of sleep is self-inflicted... Wayne G's Twisted, followed by Josh Wink's Higher State of Consciousness, then pretty much any Lab 4, and round it all off with Samatha Fu's Theme from Discotheque. F1Kate
2. So, I see your playlist for PMS and raise you playlist for a rager of a yeast infection. I call it Oh Pessary, Up Yours. Start off twee with Itchy Twitchy Feeling, then get angry with 7 Year Bitch'sThe Scratch. For when you're standing in line for a hit of Canesten duo listen to Tegan and Sara's I can't take it. Then walk home listening to Thurston Moore's cheery Patti Smith Match Scratch. When you're home if it's after 5 you might as well go right ahead and listen to Amos Milburn One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer because there aren't any songs about plain bio live yoghurt.

3. Hangovers. Waking up a groggy mess of nictotine-scented regret is a state a lot of musicians can probably relate to so why not let them help you get through it? Johnny Cash has been there and built a house so start off with. But then you do really need to actually get up, so how about something a little cheerier? Bill Withers might be waking up with the sunlight hurting his eyes, and the day seeming impossible to face... But actually, it's going to be a Lovely Day. See? It's all going to be fine. Before you know it Ke$ha is going to talk you into doing 3 shots of sambuca and starting all over again -Tik Tok Squeamish Louise
4. The worst time to be awake is when you want to be asleep. Surely there is something constructive you can do in this limbo time between the hours of 1.45 - 4.45am? Not too taxing - introducing the Sleepless Sound track including: Brain Stew by Green Day and Faithless classic Insomnia. Finishing with Rock a Bye Baby just to rub it in. Squeamish Nicola
